Hey ol' Pard, This is kind of an expensive thing we do. So far, I've "adopted" three of these old tractors that were supposed to "be okay". They never are; it is a fact of life. Don't kid yourself, you will easily spend the $10K and probably more on the tractor, but don't ya think that is way smarter than buyin' one of the new plastic ones they sell nowadays?
